Canadian premier wants to ban social media and AI chatbots for kids in Manitoba

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced plans to ban social media and AI chatbots for youth in the province, aiming to protect children from exploitation for profit. While specific details like age restrictions and enforcement methods are unclear, the proposal follows similar discussions and actions in other parts of Canada and globally. A recent poll suggests that such bans may not be entirely effective in preventing teen access.
